Château Vernous 2022 – Médoc

The nose is mineral, racy and offers a fine graphite side. It reveals notes of pulpy/juicy wild blackberry, violet and small notes of pulpy violet plum associated with touches of spices, lilac, fresh pepper as well as a discreet hint of spices. Some small complexity. The palate is nicely fresh, mineral, balanced and offers a fresh/acidic structure, energy, a nice richness, a coating side, concentration, a fine creaminess (fresh, without heaviness), delicacy, a a certain darkness (without austerity) as well as a certain density. Pretty juiciness! On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy black blackberry, small pulpy/juicy black berries and small notes of violet associated with a touch of roasted raspberry, fine hints almost of violet plum as well as a very discreet hint of stick of licorice, bergamot and a subtle hint of toasted hazelnut. Good length. A nice little chew on the finish/persistence.
